[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
You don't have to be on your phone or starting at it for 14 hours a day to see this kind of drain. My job requires me to be on my feet, moving around, tending to CNC mills and polishing equipment. I find my day goes by substantially faster if I have music playing. Given the nature of my job, having cords hanging about is simply out of the question. That is why I use bluetooth headphones and stream Slacker radio on my phone. That accounts for a vast majority of my battery drain while I work. I don't simply sit and **** around on my phone all day. Just in case you thought all of us with battery life issues are mindless zombies drooling over our smartphones.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I don't sit at a computer all day. I don't have to since I have this phone.

Sure, it's a small screen but it's not as though you place it 5 feet away to view it. When you hold it in your hands, it's about the same as watching a 40" widescreen at 10 feet.
[Epic 4G General] maghig:
I'm not seeing nearly the kind of battery improvement that I'm hearing about. I stream Pandora almost all day at work. I don't expect it to last much in those circumstances, but just now I had it fully charged and in about an hour it had dropped to 88. I was listening to music and took a few pictures, but even so that is more than I expected.

I'm running Bonsai 3.0.1 BTW
[Epic 4G General] gsrboy171:
there we go. its about time REAL phone users in this thread. if i wasent a heavy user i wouldent even buy this phone. when iam home i do use my imac or my laptop. i hate using wired headphone because of my work, i always pull the cord or damage the jack. so i use my stereo bluetooth. i dont know why iam explaining this to a none phone user. SMH

its like why buy a toyota supra put a big turbo on it and dont even take it to a track.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
I fail to see why you own this phone. There are several entry level smartphones that would do those 3 simple tasks you listed. This phones capabilities are ones of which I put to the test everyday. Today I was blessed with 11 hours which impressed me given that I had been listening to music, calls, instant messaging, texting, replying to emails and posting here all day. I'm getting what I paid for.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Yeah! Anytime my Supra(mkiii, I'm not rich) gets an upgrade, it goes to the track. Gotta feel AND see the difference. Not to mention, it's FUN! I love the analogy.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I don't own a Supra but I've had my Contour up to 95mph once. Does that count? :D
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
LMAO!!! That's hilarious!
[Epic 4G General] gsrboy171:
amen brother, i wish i can get and EVO tho and put an GT40r, meth injection, clock low 10sec 1/4, pump gas, and pick my kids up. i just love modding it make it way better than stock. were you located? by the way. raceway park is open this Saturday in Englishtown NJ, its an streetwars event.

LMAO at least you put it to the limit unlike some people, they would just keep it at 35mph and say how much great gas mileage there getting. SMH
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
That wasn't the limit, believe it or not. I actually really like that car. I'd probably hate it if it was the basic 4 though.
[Epic 4G General] Erica8123:
Not at all! I have my phone charging more often then not. I have tried literally EVERYTHING out there to improve my battery life. I have been disconnecting everything, including my data connection for most of the day since I got my Epic (on release day). I bought the phone to use it not to keep it in Airplane Mode. I finally bought a couple extra chargers (1 for work, 1 for my purse plus I have my stock charger and car charger) so I am not SOL.

BUT I did bricked my Epic a week before the last OTA and haven't rooted my replacement yet so that is some of the blame. The best battery life I got to date was with Syndicate.

BTW I am a heavy user, I use pretty much every feature on this phone for both work and play. I'm over disconnecting my data and stuff. I would of bought an extra batt vs chargers but I got them online for $6 lol

Hello everyone, I have a problem, my desire during power on it stop, in the screen appears only the FastWeb logo.

How can I fix it?

Thanks to all
[Desire General] Meaple:
Erm... phone info like rooted, unrooted, stock rom, custom rom and so on.
[Desire General] mukke:
MM

Sorry but i don't understand :(

The phone is new, buyed in italy from fastweb, without modify.
[Desire General] eden2812:
If it doesn't power on at all, and you have done nothing to it, then the device is faulty. Go get it exchanged.
[Desire General] friedkimchi:
Have you charged your phone?

If you have and its still stuck, try taking out the battery for a few minutes, put it back in and power on.

If still stuck, then quickly exchange it.
[Desire General] mukke:
The phone power on normally. The screen power on but just i see only fastweb logo.

There is a recovery procedure, per avviarlo in modalità di emergenza as HTC Diamond?
[Desire General] nuggahund:
Shouldn't you be able to recover it from the boot menu even without using root?
[Desire General] mukke:
Ehmm

I'm not capable, you can give a guide to follow? :(
[Desire General] eden2812:
Boot menu is when you hold down the volume down button and press the power button (while the volume down button is still pressed) :)

Seriously, you might save yourself some headache if you get it replaced if it is still under warranty/contract.
[Desire General] mukke:
OK!

now I understand! :D

unfortunately I do not have the bill :mad:

OK after boot menu, What I do? :confused:
[Desire General] eden2812:
Is there an option to factory reset the phone?

As far as I can understand, you haven't used the phone yet, so you shouldn't be partial to any data on the phone - just wipe.

If that doesn't work... Well, try wiping first.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
If this is the wrong place for this question please move it.

I had My Maps Editor for Android on my old phone and used it to record locations that were of interest to me (work stuff like job location or substations and local offices.) Now I see that it no longer exists. I still need to edit My Maps when I'm on the go. T-Mobile doesn't have the best coverage in MS or even have good roaming. Sending My Location to Evernote I'm able to work around not having My Maps Editor by editing when I get back home. Not having a signal it makes the My Location greyed out. Is there a program that allows saving a Location even offline?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
I'll look around and see if I can find an app that does this but I'm not aware of one. Also, you posted in the right section :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
I have My Tracks but it looks a little bulky for what I want. It can send to My Maps and can edit it. I just don't need a route.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
After doing a little test, using My Tracks is going to be the solution I go with. Too bad though because using My Location from Google Maps, a program I use all the time, would have been perfect. It only takes a little editing on the PC to make it like I want it to read.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
Well the test was skewed. I couldn't reproduce the results lol. I downloaded Inserty and it allowed me to post to my Evernote my location (with some acuracy.) Still can't edit the maps. Not even going to maps.google.com which should. It won't allow real web browsing on that site for some reason.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
I need some guidance re: unmounting/mounting my SD card from Windows. When I attach my phone to my PC I see a message "USB debugging connected" and "Disk drive", in that order. "Autoplay" opens on my PC showing the card letter. "Open folder to view files" gives me access to the files on the card. Once I've completed adding/removing files I have been right-clicking on the SD card in the list shown in "Computer" and choosing "Eject". Can I then unplug the USB cable, or should I change the "Connect to PC" setting on my phone to "Charge only", instead of "Disk drive"? OR is there another unmount step I should take (The unmount/mount concept is confusing to me). When I choose "Charge Only", I get a message on the phone "Preparing SD card".

Thanks in advance.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
not sure what you are asking, i just pull the usb out when i no longer need it hooked to the pc
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
Really? :confused: I thought any time you wanted to unplug the phone from your pc you had to either right-click and "Eject" or "Safely Remove" (WAS asking which) and then in addition deal with the "Disk drive" setting on the phone. Am I totally misinterpreting things? I have been running mdeejay's MDJ FroyoHD 2.2.1 (since removed from this forum) since December without a glitch. HOWEVER, every other version I've tried, including the newest GB versions have crashed and burned as soon as I started adding music and photos via my desktop (usually within 24-48 hours). Trying to figure out what's going on with these builds. Initially thought that my new SD card (16GB, class 10) was too fast. Then tried an 8GB class 2; same issues. So, I figured this mounting, ejecting stuff was damaging the data.

More confused than ever. :o

-Bob-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adecostres:
I also just pull USB out without "safely ejecting". If you suspect that your problems are due to files copying, maybe try to shutdown hd2, pull off sd card and copy files with card reader.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rebecker:
That would generally work. However, I use iSyncr to transfer iTunes music to the phone. On the initial transfer (about 1000 songs) it is impractical to use iSyncrWiFi (over-the-air) to do the transfer (too slow). So, at least in that instance I need to connect the phone.

Since I have your attention ;), can you explain what the unmount/mount discussions are all about?

Thanks again.

[Xoom General] Xoomblog:
How did you guys load videos onto your xoom? I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and whnen i try to copy movies from my PC to my Xoom, it simply fails to copy to the Xoom.

When I first drag the file to the Movies folder on the Xoom, I get a notification that the file is not compatible and might not play. I then hit copy anyway, and simply doesn't copy. The progress indicator doesnt budge.

Any ideas?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
I get the same popup, but they copy once i hit do it anyway. Maybe try renaming them zip and once its down rename back?
[Xoom General] Xoomblog:
I'll try rebooting the xoom later when I get home.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I have the same question! My Xoom doesn't load as a drive, it loads as a Portable Media Device.

I open it and browse to 'Movies' and I try to copy this mp4 video and it says its an invalid format [Skip, Skip All, Cancel]. I'm using WinXP. If I use my Win7 Pc, i can choose skip or continue anyway. What gives? :confused:

I tried an avi too.

edit: Ok, and to add to the confusion, I made a video on the Xoom (.3gp) copied off to my WinXP box then deleted the file from the Xoom. I THEN tried to copy it back to the Xoom and it gives the same error....
[Xoom General] Arun01:
weird i've had no trouble with mine.it loads as a portable drive.i copy the vids onto it & it also says they may not play but i hit copy anyway & it plays them just fine..I think you're loading the wrong format onto it..try mp4..thats what i use on mine using Total Video Converter & they play :)

Sorry if this has already been answered but I would like to know what to do when switching between CWM NAND builds.

I have Rafdroid's rom running on my hd2 at the moment but would like to try out some 'faster' ram builds.

What is the safest way of going about this? (without damaging my phone and preferably saving my data in case i want to revert back)

Help would be much appreciated. Thank you :o
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brainmaster:
1. Make a full NAND backup of your current ROM if you want to go back.

2. In MAGLdr do the Hard Reset.

3. In CWM do the Full Wipe.

4. Flash new ROM.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dapprman:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, I had a look here and in the general android apps thread and could not find what I'm after.

As a heavy PDA user all I want to be able to do is look at a contact and see al the information listed for him/her - i.e. (and this is where the people app is an absolute joke) the full address.

Using People I can look at a contact (synchronised quite happily from outlook through the HTC Sync Manager), however when I select a contact and scroll down I find that the address is shown in just one line and not completely. Try clicking on that line and it opens Locations - not what I want and completely useless if I have not data connection (i.e. on holiday out of the country).

At present the only way I can see a full address on my phone is to find the contact under People and then select the edit function !! :eek:

Bionix v 1.3! I have been using it moderately since 9:00 and it is now 12:10, only had time to charge it to 87 this morning. Now, 3 hours later; the battery is still at 76, so 11 percent with moderate usage. Amazing battery!! Would be on frost, but it didmt work very well on my phone for some reasons dn I love the black of bionix v
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holeblocker:
Both roms are fast, and have used both for at least 3 days(Trigger 2.6.2); both have excellent battery life.

I like Trigger's theme and look more.

BUT, Bionix 1.3 has 343mb Ram.

So, my vote goes to Bionix on that virtue.

Can't go wrong with either though
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Trigger, with the OverStock Kernel = Heaven for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
True...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Romanbb:
To be fair, you can get 343mb on any rom you choose. It's the overstock kernel that allows the 343mb ram

With that said, choose which you like better :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjwisniewski:
Right now I'm on Trigger. Bionix was my favorite, however I had some issues keeping connectivity to my company e-mail with it that I haven't had on Trigger. Otherwise, Bionix was fast and the battery life was amazing.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chase15:
does both ROMs support ffc?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Younhadroid:
Yes

I believe both do. I don't think what ROM you are using will affect the FFC if you have have SGSTool or something along the lines of that and other softwares you need on your phone for FFC.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roumenjr:
Trigger, stable, fast, reliable. Add overStock to it and you will fall in love with your phone all over again, just like the day you got it! Plus, Birg makes sure the ROM gets only better and better with every release, just when you thought it doesn't get better than that!

Can't go wrong!

Ah, my bad. Didn't see that 2.6.4 has the option of Rom w/Overstock in 1 flash =)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
This thread was kind of pointless. Of course people are going to choose what they currently run. If they didn't, why would they run it?

So, basically.... let's go ahead and sum up everyone's opinion on XDA. More people have downloaded and installed the Bionix series. Is this because it's been around longer? Possibly. Is it because Team Whiskey followers are persistent? Possibly.

I have personally tried both. I'm sticking to what I know and what I know are Team Whiskey's ROM's. Trigger is a machine though, I can assure you.

Happy choosing ;)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hthuan:
The key here is the overstock kernel, you can flash either bionix, trigger, axura rom then flash the lastest overstock kernel over it. Then start kicking ass!

I flash overstock on top of axura, got a quarant score of 1839 and a neocore of 64.9.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reorampage:
I was a steady user of Bionix for quite sometime but I must say, Trigger has made a believer out of me. As it's been stated, the Overstock kernel will crank your phone up to 11 no matter which rom you use, but I dunno, Trigger just seems to hit a sweet spot for me.

Try them both, it's insanely easy to switch roms these days. Haven't ran into a bootloop or anything in ages.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dynamicstyle4o8:
I prefer trigger. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Assimilated Android:
imho...

imho, both are excellent! :D

i use both on 2 different phones (both with the latest overstock 1.3 kernel) and am really impressed. i'm still on bionix 1.3 (have not flashed the latest 1.3.1 rom yet) but i think both are pretty much equal. it boils down to user preference. there are things i like about bionix, there are things i like about trigger, and even though i lean toward bionix more, i can't choose between the two. i am just thankful for the great people who developed them because stock roms suck bad, lol! :p

If I remember correctly, once the phone is set to the Live account, it cannot be deleted/changed. I had this problem because I wanted to switch my Windows Live to a new account, and it apparently will not let you. I had to do a hard reset on my phone to set it to the new account.
